ARMSTONG HAS NO NEWCASTLE REGRETS

Blackburn Rovers hitman Adam Armstrong has revealed that he has no regrets about how his Newcastle United career ended and that he’s enjoying his time with the English Championship club.

Armstrong has grown into a formidable force in front of goal at Ewood Park netting an impressive 40 goals in the league since the start of last year. The increase in his attacking numbers has been aided by his movement and positioning.
